"We have been frequent travellers on the Fuller-operated ferries from Opua to Russell, for more than two years," writes Llewellyn L. White. "Because we live in Moerewa in the Bay of Islands we use the Vehicular Ferry Resident Concession card. This card costs $61 for 10 trips, making a return journey $12.20. The card is now to be restricted to four post codes - none of which are ours. Fullers offered us a 10 per cent discount card which will take our round trip costs to $22.50. Although pensioners, we work hard in the Bay of Islands community, being volunteer teachers, CYF caregivers and St John volunteers ... What's Fullers up to? "
What it's like to be a woman
1. Ladies, never show panty lines!!!!!! It breaks the illusion that your pants are actually your skin!!!!!

5. Recipe for liberation as a woman: eat five man buns with heads still attached, claim new power.
6. The moral of Beauty and the Beast is that looks don't matter, as long as you're a man.
